Jose was a hard-working blue collar kind of guy. He loved his career as a professional butcher and had spent his last several years as the meat department manager at various Tulsa area grocers where he formed life long friendships. He absolutely loved to cook and specifically barbecue for his family. He was the life of our family reunions. He could provide a joke and a good laugh at just the right time. When you needed to hear an encouraging word, he'd be there to lend an ear or a shoulder. He enjoyed spending time watching and playing sports, but his world revolved around his kids, he was so proud of his boys. His girls were the apple of his eye and meant the world to him. He shared a special bond with his maternal grandmother, Lilia Montez de Zamarron.
Jose was so loved by his family. He will be incredibly missed by his family, friends, co-workers, and all whom he touched in his life.
"And He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." - Revelation 21:4 NWT
